In an increasingly fast-paced, complex, and ambiguous business world, competing on a landscape dominated by the continued evolution of digital channels and mobile devices, the only tractable strategy is to adapt to survive. Driven by the exponential speed of change, organizations must wrap their arms around DevOps if they hope to defend and expand their market opportunities.

Why Do DevOps? The competitive advantage this capability creates is enormous, enabling faster feature time to market, increased customer satisfaction, market share, and employee productivity and happiness, as well as allowing organizations to win in the marketplace. Why? Because technology has become the dominant value creation process and an increasingly important (and often the primary) means of customer acquisition within most organizations.
